About us

We are Gary and Lisa and we run a small Scottish web design company based in East Lothian. We got fed up seeing trades paying too much for crap websites that weren’t working for their businesses so we decided to set up trades.scot.

With over 20 years experience in building websites and managing servers, we know what we’re doing. We pride ourselves on being local, and we do all design and development ourselves.

Why choose a trades.scot website?

When we say no hassle, we mean it! All we need is a 10 minute phone call and for you to send us your logo, photos and any testimonials you have and we can create your website.

Expertly Designed

We use WordPress, the world’s leading Content Management System to create you a stunning website that will showcase your business online.
